The Open source GIS - GRASS users conference will take place in Trento,
Italy, 11-13 September 2002. 

This conference is the result of the joint effort of many GRASS developers
and users all over the world to foster closer relations and provide
opportunities for greater interactions among the open GIS and GRASS
communities.
The aim of the conference is twofold: the exchange of experiences between
Open GIS and GRASS users and developers and the possibility for the
potential users to access first-hand information and GRASS capability
demonstration, especially for users from developing countries.

The conference is organized by the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering of the University of Trento with the help of an Organizing
Committee including some of the most prominent GIS/GRASS experts around the
world.

This is the first meeting on open source GIS, so it is difficult to estimate
the number of participants. Pre-registration on the web site will help the
organization of the meeting to find out in advance the number of people
interested to attend (before March, 31st 2002).

Conference fee will be kept as low as possible to allow everybody to
participate: 

        Early registration (until 30 June 2002): 70 euros 
        Late registration (after 30 June 2002): 200 euros
